Great price! Well done. Keep us informed what route you take with ink and paper!

Justin,
I was going to use Signal Inkjet on Feebay for their Ink & Paper but if you tell me Rotech is no good i'm open to suggestions! I'm researching now, it looks like it may be best to source a CISS system pre-filled with Sublimation Ink for my Epson D120. Not cheap!

No, no licensed option will be cheap I'm afraid. Hopefully someone will pop into the thread and tell me how good they find Rotech ink, I only have limited experience with it so this may be a bit of an unfair assesment.

Hi Flash, I wouldn't rule out Rotech ink. I use it and have done for a few years and can't say I've had any major problems other than the odd clogging of heads due to underuse. Managed to free them with head cleaning solution and have been printing away fine. Getting some nice results.
Regards

flash, would you be able to put a post up, showing exactly what you ended up ordering and the costings, i recently bought a mug press, and now realise that my epson printer that i use for everything else is no good for dye sub, so am in the process of looking, and its all a bit mind boggling at the moment. so i have a press & some mugs - and thats it lol

Sure,
I managed to get an Epson D120 printer from these guys for £51.99 including delivery. Tough things to get hold of, most places are 'Out Of Stock'!
I managed to get a Mug Press on Feebay for a 'best offer' of £70.00 from here add £9.50 Courier delivery to this price.
Next step is to order a CISS system pre-filled with Sublimation Ink for the Epson D120, I am looking into my options here.
I have kindly been given an ICC Profile for the Epson D120 & Rotech Ink from a fellow Forum Member so I will probably go this route.
Then some Sublimation Paper and I should be printing mugs!
I am also looking around at the moment for a great deal on an Oki Colour Laser Printer as I also have 160 Asda Smartprice mugs to decorate Should be a busy New Year

phil,
you have just confused me further...
with the laser printer, do you still need sub ink - ?
what paper will you use with a laser printer ?

i only ask as i have a black laser printer, and the decorations on my mugs will only be wording - black lettering on white mugs - so maybe i dont need another printer after all i could just use the laser printer i already have ?
